About this map

Wadena serves as the primary municipal center in this central Minnesota landscape, where the confluence of several watercourses and a structured grid of county roads define the region's character. The Leaf River meanders across the northern half of the sheet, joined by tributaries such as Bluff Creek and Union Creek. In the western portion, the small community of Bluffton is anchored by Saint John's Catholic Church and its associated Saint John's Catholic Church Cemetery.

The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial grounds including Gustafva Cemetery, Compton Cemetery, Wadena Cemetery, and Saint Anns Cemetery. These sites are distributed across a landscape transitioned into a modern transportation corridor, with routes like County Hwy-75 and County Hwy-19 providing the backbone for rural access between the established settlements and the surrounding wetlands and creeks.
